Yes, overall hurricanes are worse than tornadoes. Tornadoes can be faster(the average tornado may have winds of about 70 mph, but they can get as high as 300 mph, and hurricanes can be 74 to about 200 mph) and maybe more destructive locally, but tornadoes are on average about 150 feet, and rarely over a mile and they usually travel no more than a few miles. Hurricanes are on average 300 miles wide. Tornadoes usually last for 10-13 minutes on average, hurricanes can last for days blowing nonstop. Additionally, hurricanes don't bring just strong winds, but torrential rain and flooding.

∙ 12y agoIt depends. Some earthquakes have more power than a hurricane, and some hurricanes are more powerful than earthquakes. Sometimes hurricanes do more damage than earthquakes, and sometimes earthquakes do more damage than a hurricane, so, in my opinion, they are both equally as dangerous.
